AB  - Kod prevremeno rođene dece, nedovoljna izloženost endogenim glukokortikoidima vodi često do fatalnih komplikacija, koje mogu biti sprečene antenatalnim tretmanom sintetskim glukokortikoidima, najčešće deksametazonom (DEKS). Prema važećim preporukama, trudnice u riziku od prevremenog porođaja između 24-te i 34-te nedelje trudnoće treba da prime jedan tretman deksametazonom. I pored rizika od neželjenih neurorazvojnih efekata, često se primenjuje ponavljani tretman. Purinski signalni sistem ima važnu ulogu u razviću mozga, a ključnu ulogu imaju najzastupljenije ektonukleotidaze NTPDaza1/CD39 i ekto-5ʹ-nukleotidaza/CD73 koje zajednički regulišu nivo ATP, ADP i adenozina u vanćelijskoj tečnosti. Mi smo primenili antenatalni ponavljani tretman deksametazonom (APTD) 15, 16 i 17 dana gestacije (DG) kod trudnih ženki Wistar pacova. Fetusi su dobijeni 21. DG, a nakon dekapitacije izolovan je mozak koji je po uklanjanju cerebellum-a korišćen za dobijanje grube membranske frakcije, iRNK ili pripremljen za imunohistohemijsku analizu. Naši rezultati pokazuju da APTD izaziva porast genske i proteinske ekspresije, kao i enzimske aktivnosti NTPDaze1/CD39 i ekto-5ʹ-nukleotidaze/CD73 u mozgu fetusa kod pacova, koji je izraženiji kod muškog pola. Uočene promene ukazuju da APTD verovatno izaziva smanjenje ATP- i ADP-zavisne, a porast adenozinske signalizacije, izraženije u mozgu muških fetusa što bi moglo da doprinosi neželjenim neurorazvojnim efektima APTD, posebno kod muškog pola.

AB  - Ribavirin je purinski nukleozidni analog, otkriven pre više decenija i odobren kao lek protiv virusa hepatitisa C. Sa otkrićem direktnih antivirusnih agenasa, nastupila je revolucija u lečenju hepatitisa C, a terapijska uloga ribavirina je marginalizovana. Međutim, ribavirin ima širok spektar dejstva što je otvorilo mogućnost da se ovaj lek preusmeri ka tretmanu drugih oboljenja. Naime, osim što deluje antivirusno (inhibicija virusne RNK polimeraze i izazivanje letalne mutageneze) ribavirin je i inhibitor eukariotskog faktora za inicijaciju translacije e4E, što je zaslužno za njegov anti-tumorski efekat, pokazan u leukemiji i na ćelijama glioma. Njegova druga opšte poznata unutarćelijska meta jeste enzim inozin-5’-monofosfat dehidrogenaza (IMPDH), koji predstavlja ključni faktor u de novo sintezi guaninskih nukleotida. Ćelije koje se isključivo na ovaj način snabdevaju purinskim nukleotidima, kao što su aktivirani limfociti i neke proliferišuće ćelije, izuzetno su senzitivne na delovanje ribavirina. Inhibicija IMPDH odgovorna je za imunosupresivno i imunomodulatorno dejstvo ribavirina, pokazano u in vitro i in vivo modelima neuroinflamacije. Dakle, iako ribavirin gubi centralnu ulogu koju je imao u terapiji infekcije virusom hepatitisa C, njegova multipotentna priroda koja se ogleda u različitim mehanizmima delovanja, predstavlja potencijal za preusmeravanje ka novim terapijskim indikacijama, kao što su kancer ili multipla skleroza.

AB  - Introduction. Ecto-5'–nucleotidase (eN) catalyzes terminal step of extracellular ATP hydrolysis, producing anti-inflammatory adenosine. We reported significantly increased eN activity in lumbar spinal cord during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), together with increased protein expression connected mainly with reactive astrocytes and appearance of new isoform at ~75kDa at the peak of the disease, besides usual ~71kDa isoform. Since eN is glycoprotein with five potential N-glycosylation sites and 
redicted molecular weight of 57-59 kDa, we hypothesized that occurrence of second isoform during EAE is due to changes in glycosylation pattern, possibly affecting kinetic properties of the enzyme. Methods. Lumbar parts of the spinal cords were obtained from Dark Agouti rats at the onset (Eo), peak (Ep) and the end of symptoms (Er) during EAE and from naïve control animals (C). Results. We here report significant changes of kinetic properties regarding AMP-hydrolysis during EAE, with almost 50% increase of maximal velocity at Ep (92.35±1.86nmolPi/min/mg) and Er (90.68±2.17nmolPi/min/mg), compared to C, whilst Km increased double at Ep (0.041±0.003mmol/l). Enzymatic deglycosylation caused triple decrease of Vmax (33.6±1.8nmolPi/mg/min) at Ep, and double decrease of Km (0.022±0.008mmol/l), whilst immunoblot
probed with anti-eN antibody revealed triple protein band at ~60kDa at all investigated time-points. Conclusion. Our results show that changes of kinetic properties during EAE, at least partially, are governed by modification of glycosylation pattern. Also, appearance of new isoform at the peak of EAE is direct consequence of glycosylation changes. In summary, besides gene and protein expression changes of eN, glycosylation might be additional route of inflammation control conducted by astrocytes.

AB  - It is widely accepted that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) acts as a universal danger-associated molecular pattern with several known mechanisms for immune cell activation. In the central nervous system, ATP activates microglia and astrocytes and induces a neuroinflammatory response. The aim of the present study was to describe responses of isolated astrocytes to increasing concentrations of ATP (5 µM to 1 mM), which were intended to mimic graded intensity of the extracellular stimulus. The results show that ATP induces graded activation response of astrocytes in terms of the cell proliferation, stellation, shape remodeling, and underlying actin and GFAP filament rearrangement, although the changes occurred without an apparent increase in GFAP and actin protein expression. On the other hand, ATP in the range of applied concentrations did not evoke IL-1β release from cultured astrocytes, nor did it modify the release from LPS and LPS+IFN-γ–primed astrocytes. ATP did not promote astrocyte migration in the wound-healing assay, nor did it increase production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and lipid peroxidation. Instead, ATP strengthened the antioxidative defense of astrocytes by inducing Cu/ZnSOD and MnSOD activities and by increasing their glutathione content. Our current results suggest that although ATP triggers several attributes of activated astrocytic phenotype with a magnitude that increases with the concentration, it is not sufficient to induce full-blown reactive phenotype of astrocytes in vitro. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB  - Nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase3 (NTPDase3) is membrane-bound ectoenzyme which hydrolyzes extracellular ATP, thus modulating the function of purinergicreceptors and the pattern of purinergic signaling. Here we analyzed the developmentalexpression of NTPDase3 in female hypothalamus, cerebral cortex and hippocampal formationat different postnatal ages (PD7–PD90) by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Inhypothalamus and hippocampus, a similar developmental profile was seen: NTPDase3 geneexpression was stable during postnatal development and increased in adults. In the cortex,upregulation of NTPDase3 mRNA expression was seen at PD15 and further increase wasevidenced in adults. Immunohistochemical analysis at PD7 revealed faint neuronal NTPDase3localization, in dorsal hypothalamus. The immunoreactivity (ir) gradually increased in PD15and PD20, in clusters of cells in the lateral, ventral and dorsomedial hypothalamus.Furthermore, in PD20 animals, NTPDase3-ir was detected on short fibers in the posteriorhypothalamic area, while in PD30 the fibers appeared progressively longer and markedlyvaricose. In adults, the strongest NTPDase3-ir was observed in collections of cells indorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, dorsal and lateral hypothalamus and in several thalamicareas, whereas the varicose fibers traversed entire diencephalon, particularly paraventricularthalamic nucleus, ventromedial and dorsomedial hypothalamic nuclei, the arcuate nucleus andthe prefornical part of the lateral hypothalamus. The presumably ascending NTPDase3-irfibers were first observed in PD20; their density and the varicose appearance increased untilthe adulthood. Prominent enhancement of NTPDase3-ir in the hypothalamus coincides withage when animals acquire diurnal rhythms of sleeping and feeding, supporting the hypothesisthat this enzyme may be involved in regulation of homeostatic functions.

AB  - Microglial cells are immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS) that
play a major role in its surveillance. Changes in CNS homeostasis, invading
pathogens or neuron impairment, lead to activation of microglial cells that
quickly proliferate, acquire amoeboid morphology and produce toxic
mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. These
changes are regulated by transcription factors, most importantly NF-κB.
Although microglial activation is important for maintaining tissue
homeostasis, excessive activation leads to chronic inflammation that can
damage healthy neurons. Substances that suppress microglial activation are
potential therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. Benfotiamine (Sbenzoylthiamine-
O-monophosphate) is a synthetic derivative of vitamin B1
that has anti-inflammatory properties. In this study we investigated antiinflammatory
properties of benfotiamine on activated microglia in vitro.
BV-2 microglia were pre-treated with benfotiamine, stimulated with LPS
and their viability and morphology were evaluated. LPS induced prominent
alterations in cell morphology, enlargement of cell bodies and spreading of
multiple processes. Pre-treatment with benfotiamine before LPS
stimulation suppressed these morphological changes. Additionally,
benfotiamine diminished LPS induced NO production, without altering cell
viability. Furthermore, benfotiamine decreased LPS induced production of
pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF- α and IL-6, while increasing production
of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Analysis of NF-κB activation
revealed that benfotiamine's effects were mediated by this transcription
factor. In conclusion, benfotiamine exerts anti-inflammatory properties in LPS
activated microglia in vitro and should be further investigated as a potential
therapeutic for neurodegenerative diseases.

AB  - Injury and other pathological conditions induce a massive release of ATP and ADP that initiate an immune response. Extracellular nucleotides are degraded by ectonucleotidases: enzymes from E-NTPDase and E-NPP families sequentially hydrolyze ATP and ADP to AMP, which is further hydrolyzed by ecto-5'-nucleotidase to adenosine that exerts suppressive effects on immune cells. We investigated the ectonucleotidase activities of peripheral lymphocytes at different post-injury times after an unilateral brain injury in the rat. Significant and dynamic changes in the lymphocytic ectonucleotidase activities were obtained. ATP- and ADP-hydrolysis changes, together with their calculated ratios, indicate the major contribution of E-NTPDase 1 and its comparable upregulation between sham operation and injury. AMP hydrolysis changes were more brain-injury specific, with a longer-lasting lymphocytic response induced by cortical stab injury (CSI). In summary, CSI and sham operation induce the upregulation of the whole enzyme chain for adenine nucleotide hydrolysis in lymphocytes, suggesting an important roles of ectonucleotidases in the course of recovery after brain injury.

AB  - Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), a human inflammatory and demyelinating disease. Microglia and astrocytes are glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS) that play a dual role in MS and EAE pathology. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of combined treatment with two nucleoside analogues, ribavirin and tiazofurin, on microglia and astrocytes in actively induced EAE. Therapeutic treatment with a combination of these two nucleoside analogues reduced disease severity, mononuclear cell infiltration and demyelination. The obtained histological results indicate that ribavirin and tiazofurin changed activated microglia into an inactive type and attenuated astrocyte reactivity at the end of the treatment period. Since reduction of reactive microgliosis and astrogliosis correlated with EAE suppression, the present study also suggests that the obtained beneficial effect of ribavirin and tiazofurin could be a consequence of their action inside as well as outside the CNS.

AB  - Povreda mozga obuhvata primarnu povredu, koja nastaje kao rezultat

povećanje produkcije reaktivnih kiseoničnih vrsta (ROS) dovedeno je u vezu sa

Svi eksperimenti izvedeni su na pacovima soja Wistar starim tri meseca.
Životinjama je pod anestezijom Zoletilom, uklonjen senzomotorni korteks na levoj
strani, pažljivim usisavanjem tkiva kroz polipropilenski vrh. Životinje se žrtvovane 0, 4,

životinja izražen je u odnosu na lažno-operisane životinje, dok je intenzitet dobijen kod
intaktnih životinja arbitrarno definisan kao 1.00.
RtPCR analiza demonstrirala je da u LCtx dolazi do rane indukcije iRNK za
MnSOD između 4 i 24 h nakon povrede. Uočeno vremenski-zavisno povećanje iRNK za
MnSOD bilo je najveće 4 sata nakon povrede. Saglasno tome, imunoblot analiza
pokazala je da je ekspresija MnSOD proteina u LCtx značajno povećana tokom prva
četiri sata nakon povrede. Ekspresija iRNK i MnSOD proteina vraća se na fiziološki
nivo 72 sata nakon povrede. S druge strane, ekspresija MnSOD, kako na nivou iRNK,
tako i na nivou proteina, ne menja se u RCtx tokom celog eksperimentalnog perioda.
Rezultati ovog rada ukazuju da povreda mozga dovodi do brzog i značajnog
povećanja ekspresije MnSOD na mestu povrede, najverovatnije kao deo odgovora na
oksidativni stres uzrokovan primarnom povredom. Budući da MnSOD predstavlja prvu
liniju odbrane od superoksid anjon radikala koji nastaju u mitohondrijama, ovi nalazi
mogu doprineti boljem razumevanju uloge MnSOD u procesu oporavka nakon povrede.
AB  - Brain injury consists of primary injury that is the result of immediate
mechanical damage and secondary injury that evolves over a period of minutes and
days. The precise mechanisms underlying secondary injury are not well understood,
however several metabolic dearangements, including increased generation of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the pathophysiology following brain
damage. Since mitochondria are the major subcellular site of ROS generation,
manganese superoxid dismutase (MnSOD, SOD2), a potent scavanger of superoxide
radicals could have critical cytoprotective role in the antioxidant defence mechanism and
neuronal survival after brain damage. Thus, in the present study we have evaluated
expression of MnSOD to address its role during early events of brain injury using a
model of unilateral cortical ablation in rat.
Experiments were performed on three-month old Wistar male rats. The
sensomotory cortex was unilaterally removed on the left side by gentle suction
aspiration through polypropilene tip under the Zoletil anesthesia. Animals were
sacrificed 0, 4, 24 and 72 hours after the surgery and left (LCtx) and right (RCtx)
cortical tissues were immediately isolated for tissue homogenate preparations. For each
time point, another group of aged-matched animals was used as sham-operated controls,
whereas non-operated, intact animals were used as a physiological control. Signal
intensities obtained for MnSOD mRNA and protein expression in injured animals were
expressed relative to that obtained for sham-operated animals at each time point after the
surgery, whereas signal intensity obtained for intact control was arbitrarily defined as
1.00.
RtPCR analysis showed a rapid induction of MnSOD mRNA in LCtx between 4
and 24 h after the injury. Observed time-dependent increase in MnSOD mRNA was
maximal 4 hours after the injury compared to the level induced by sham operation alone.
Accordingly, immunoblot analysis demonstrated increased expression of MnSOD
protein in LCtx up to 4 h after the injury. 72 hours after the injury MnSOD mRNA and
protein expression return to the level of the intact control. On the other hand, MnSOD
mRNA and protein expression remained unaffected in the RCtx at all time points after
the surgery.
In conclusion, the result of this study demonstrate that brain injury induce rapid
and marked increase in MnSOD expression at the site of injury, most likely as a
protective response after oxidative stress initiated by primary brain damage. Since
MnSOD provides the first line of defense against superoxide generated in mitochondria,
these findings may contribute to a better understanding of role MnSOD in the recovery
process following brain injury.

AB  - The weak regenerative capacity of self-repair after injury to the adult brain is caused by the formation of glial sear due to reactive astrogliosis. In the present study the beginning of reactive astrogliosis in the adult, as shown immunocytochemically by upregulation of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin, was seen two days after the left sensorimotor cortex lesion, being maximal during the first two weeks and declining by 30 days after the lesion. This was accompanied by intensive glial scarring. Conversely, after the neonatal lesion a lack of gliotic scar was seen until 30 days postsurgery, although the pattern of GFAP and vimentin expression during recovery period was the same. The aim of the study was to define an appropriate therapeutic intervention that could modulate astrocyte proliferation and diminish glial scar formation after adult brain lesion. For this purpose the effects of an antiproliferative agent, the purine nucleoside analogue ribavirin was examined. It was shown that daily injection of ribavirin for 5 and 10 days considerably decreased the number of reactive astrocytes, while slight GFAP labeling was restricted to the lesion site. Obtained results show that ribavirin treatment downregulates the process of reactive astrogliosis after adult brain injury, and thus may be a useful approach for improving neurological recovery from brain damage.
